If you haven't noticed, painted rocks are going crazy lately! People are painting rocks and leaving them all over their towns and communities for other people to find. I LOVE THIS! Yes - caps for a reason. Painted rocks are easy. If you want to learn how to paint rocks, keep reading. But first let me say that my family started doing this two years ago.
We moved into a house where the previous owners had all the flower beds and full of rocks - on purpose. It's impossible to dig a hole without loosing your mind and hitting a thousand rocks. So instead of letting the rocks stress … [Read more...]

As always, this is my true opinion or I wouldn't share it. This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of Tree Top but my daughter is over the moon about it.
I'm a Texas girl and plan to always be one. I love this state and all that it offers but sometimes when you want to travel to a different city in Texas, it can be quite a long trip. That's why early on we worked hard on perfecting the perfect way to travel in a car with kids.

Amazon Prime Day is almost here. I love Amazon because it makes it easier to find things. Plus Amazon Kindle feeds my out of control reading habit. Few people think to shop on Amazon for craft supplies but I've had huge success doing it for years to buy craft paint in bulk or a particular product I'm looking for such as DIY jewelry pieces.
If you don't have an Amazon Prime account you can sign up for a one month free trial. Just remember to set a reminder on your phone to cancel it before the month is up if you don't enjoy it or find it worth the price.
What are some of the best … [Read more...]

Many of you know that I live in Houston and I love it. When I first moved here 14 years ago I hated it with a passion and couldn't wait for the day that we got to move back to small town life. But as the years have passed I've found myself falling head over heels for this city and the many things that Houston has to offer.

4th of July is this week! There's tons of 4th of July and other patriotic outfits that you can buy but why purchase something when you can have fun making it? These shirts are simply but fun. All you need is painter's tape and spray paint.
Yes! Spray paint will work. If you spritz lightly it won't make the shirt stiff or gross. It dries very quicky and can be washed and dried normally. These shirts can really take a beating. This is actually an old tutorial that we did a few years ago and my youngest is still wearing her sister's old shirts like this!
The good news is … [Read more...]

When we moved in to our house, 5 years ago, we found a huge box of plain white ceramic tiles in the far corner of the garage. It was a jackpot for a crafter. Slowly but surely I’ve been working my way through white ceramic tile crafts. So far this craft using ceramic tiles has […]
